Returning to USC felt right for Velus Jones

Wide receiver Velus Jones had a lot to deal with emotionally when he decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal earlier this year. At the time, being near his family, specifically his grandfather who was ill, was more important than continuing his college career at USC.

Jones was potentially sacrificing earning a degree from USC in December, in order to be closer to home in Alabama.

He took a few visits tomschools like Western Kentucky and Tennnesse, but returning to USC and the family he has on the West Coast ultimately felt like the right decision.

After Thursday’s USC Player-Run Practice, Jones answered questions about why he decided to enter the transfer portal and why he decided to remain with the Trojans.
